A li ti n filed April 18. 1907. Serial No. 368,874-

To all whom it may concern:

The base 1, has a rim portion or-flange 2,

. Be it known that 1, JAMES W. JAooBUs, a which preferably has a lip 3,at one side somecitlzcn of the United States, residing at Great Neck,county of Nassau, State of New York, have invented certain new andusefulImprovements in Inlrstands, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

My invention relates to improvements in reservoirs for liquidsyandparticularly inkstands.

The main object is to provide a simple and reliable ink-stand of the socalled pneumatic or barometric type.

Another object is to provide an ink-stand of this type which may bereadily filled or em )tied.

nother object is to provide such ameohanical construction of this typewhich is easily made and susceptible to symmetrical design. 7

These objects are attained in an ink-stand as illustrated in theaccompanying single sheet of drawings and described in the followingspecification. In its preferred form it comprises a reservoir formed oftwo parts between which is an o )ening for dipping a pen. The inner edge0 theopening is below the level of the outer edge so th'at the ink cannot rise in the dip opening above the level of the inner edge. The pencan therefore never be immersed beyond a depth equal to the height ofthe inner edge of the dip opening. The two ports of the ink-stand arepreferably formed of glass, the lower edge of the upper part fittingwithin the rim of the base. The parts may be secured together in anysuitable manner, either permanently or separably, depending upon theconditions of use to which the ink-stand is to be subjected.

as described.

what higher than the edge of the rim. The upper part l, is preferablydome shaped and terminates in a cylindrical portion 5, which fits withinthe base rim, 2, the joint being 1 liquid tight. The side adjacent thelip 3, is

pressed in, and the loweredge of the wall 6,

is some distance above the bottom of the base but below the edge ofthe-rim 2.

When stood upon edge the reservoir may be filled through the opening 7.When the ink-stand is right-ed, the ink in the "dip opening rises onlyto the lower edge of the Wall 6.

The reservoir may be quickly completely emptied. when stood upon edgewith the mouth down.

Changes in shape and proportions may be made Without departing from thescope or spirit-of my invention.

What 1 claim is:

1. An inkstand comprising two cup shaped members with interfittingcylindrical portions, one of said members constituting the base, thecylindrical portion of the base member being bent outward and extendingupward at one side to form a lip and the cylindrical portion of the uper member being indented and cut away a 2. An inlrstand comprising aflat bottomed base member with an upturned cylindrical flange, and adome shaped member having a cylindrical portion fitting within the baseflange and extending to the bottom and being cut away and indented toform a dip opening.
